青赤の森に迷った緑国

あお あか の　もり に まよった　みどり くに


A green nation
lost in a forest
of red and blue.


NACOS tips for writing English haiku–

The way of the haiku is not to state things outright, but to hint at them. Some of the best haiku, in fact, leave you wondering at their purpose – not to confuse you, but to lead you to your own thoughts and meditations. I’m afraid today’s submission falls a little short of this ideal, as you can definitely tell what I’m talking about given that today is election day. However, notice that instead of telling you what my thoughts are, I pick out some poignant images to present.
